Microsoft recently launched Windows 11 which serves as its latest release and many Windows users can’t wait to try it out meanwhile some already have access to the OS before the launch date.

Although this update was rolled out years after Jerry Nixon, a senior software development engineer at Microsoft stated that version 10 is the last one of Windows at the Ignite conference 2015.

Adding that they’ll focus more on the development of the current Windows 10 which turns out to be false.

However, the downside of the new Operating System is that it isn’t compatible with all PCs as you’ll have to enable Secure Boot and TPM excluding other minor factors, well that isn’t what we’re going to look at.

Moreover, you can read up the “How to Fix “This PC can’t Run Windows 11” Error” article we published earlier if you’re having difficulty installing Windows 11.

If you’re on Windows 11 PC you should notice some of these important updates,

  • Centered taskbar items,
  • New system icons
  • Centered Start menu
  • New layout and interface
  • Ability to run Android apps on Windows (play your Android games on your Windows without the use of emulators) e.t.cIl suggest you wait for the major release before opting in for the Windows 11 OS because most of the features aren’t attractive enough and the system isn’t stable yet.

Nevertheless, If you installed Windows 11 on your PC and the activation code is giving errors or isn’t working after several trials, then here’s a way to permanently activate Windows 11 using CMD and KMS command prompts.

If you’re also new to the Windows 11 family or you want to download and install it online then you can visit the Microsoft official page to know how to go about it, our discussion for today will be on how to activate it.

You can also learn How to activate windows 8/8.1 with CMD free and How to activate windows 10 with CMD free.

So, feel free to get back to this page anytime you’re done installing Windows 11 on your computer.

Requirements:

  1. PC/Computer with unactivated Windows 11
  2. Active internet connection while parsing the CMD command {Automatic Method}
  3. License keys for Windows Version {Manual Method}
  4. Patience

We are going to discuss the manual and automatic ways of activating your Windows 11, however, it’s advisable to use the manual method since the automatic method is not recommended due to the new update of Microsoft.

But, try the latter if the manual method doesn’t work for you

Method 1: Manual Method

HOW TO PERMANENTLY ACTIVATE WINDOWS 11 USING KMS COMMANDS ON COMMAND PROMPT

The steps are entirely similar to what I showed you in step-by-step instructions on how to activate Windows 10 and 8/8.1 for free, except that I do it on Windows 11 this time.
  1. Click on the Start button, search for “CMD” and run as an administrator
  2. Next, use the “slmgr /ipk yourlicensekey” command and press enter to install a license key

(yourlicensekey in the above line is the activation key that corresponds to your Windows edition).

Below is a list of Windows 11 license keys;

Home: TX9XD-98N7V-6WMQ6-BX7FG-H8Q99
Home N: 3KHY7-WNT83-DGQKR-F7HPR-844BM
Home Single Language: 7HNRX-D7KGG-3K4RQ-4WPJ4-YTDFH
Home Country Specific: PVMJN-6DFY6-9CCP6-7BKTT-D3WVR
Professional: W269N-WFGWX-YVC9B-4J6C9-T83GX
Professional N: MH37W-N47XK-V7XM9-C7227-GCQG9
Education: NW6C2-QMPVW-D7KKK-3GKT6-VCFB2
Education N: 2WH4N-8QGBV-H22JP-CT43Q-MDWWJ
Enterprise: NPPR9-FWDCX-D2C8J-H872K-2YT43
Enterprise N: DPH2V-TTNVB-4X9Q3-TJR4H-KHJW4

Now, Click on “Enter” to run the command

> The next thing to do is to set the KMS machine address;

  1. Use “slmgr /skms s8.uk.to or slmgr /skms s8.now.im” to connect to my KMS server
  2. Finally, activate your windows by running the “slmgr /ato” in CMD

If you see the error 0x80070005, it means the server is busy. Please try the command “ato” again until you succeed.

Now check your activation status again

Method 2: Automatic Method

HOW TO PERMANENTLY ACTIVATE WINDOWS 11 USING CMD

This can be done using a batch file that you’re going to upload below and run as administrator, meanwhile, remember to have your data connection on during the process.

However, This one is not recommended anymore due to Microsoft’s new update.

  1. Copy the Windows 11 activation code from below and paste it into a new text document
  2. Then save as a lukastech activate.cmd
  3. Locate the file on your PC and right-click,
  4. Click on “Run as Administrator
  5. Select “YES” on any pop-up
  6. Wait for some minutes and it’s DONE.

That’s all about activating your Windows 11 without an activation code or software.

METHOD 3: OFFLINE METHOD/OFFLINE ACTIVATOR

HOW TO ACTIVATE WINDOWS 11 WITHOUT INTERNET VIA KMSPico

I’m happy to announce that I’ve found a way you can activate your Windows 11 without using the command prompt or a Kms client key.

Recommended:  3 Ways to Check How Many Cores are Installed in your CPU

This approach is the best if you ask me because you don’t have to start trying multiple activation keys or hoping for the cmd prompt to work. It automatically activates your Windows permanently once you run the software on your PC.

Here’s the best part, it also activates any Microsoft Office packages installed on your PC plus it is an offline activation process. However, for copyright reasons, I won’t advise you to use this tool for commercial and long-term purposes.

The name of the tool/software is the KMSPico 11 activator tool. Without wasting much time, let’s get started.

  1. Download the KSMPico Windows 11 activator tool
  2. Now, turn off real-time protection by opening Settings > Virus and Threat Protection > Manage Settings > Turn off real-time protection. You must do this else the antivirus will see the program as a threat and delete it.
  3. Next, go to your downloads, unzip the downloaded file, and run the program as an administrator.
  4. Once you’re inside the app, Click on the “Activate” button and wait for some seconds.
  5. This should activate your Windows alongside other Microsoft packages. However, you can confirm this by typing the below prompt into your CMD.
  6. Open your CMD from the search icon  > run as administrator > and type this “slmgr /xpr” then ENTER.

 

That’s all about activating your Windows 11 without an activation code or software.
